Dead raccoon in the street by the curb

Case Date:

10/18/2025

I was unlocking my condo door with my wife and dog. Our neighbor in the adjacent unit, 3366 S Oaklawn Circle, Bloomington, IN 47401, opened their door and their dog came running out on a leash. We didn't hear their door open and we didn't know that their dog was sprinting towards us, and I realized it was right there when it hit the landscaping bush and was growling. It lunged at our dog trying to bite it, even though our dog was surprised by it to and didn't even know it was there until the last second. Fortunately, our neighbor's leash was just short enough to pull back the dog quickly, and we scurried inside. There was no verbal warning from our neighbor. Our neighbors have too medium sized black dogs, and this was one of them. In the past, when I've been outside when the dogs have been out the dogs have barked and pulled trying to get to me and my dog, but I'd not witnessed one of them try to bite us before. I'm reporting this incident since my wife and I should be safe from being bitten by a dog on our front door step.

Hello, My name is Claire Austin and I am creating a speech for Zionsville Community High School about why you should adopt rather than shop. I have a few questions I would appreciate you answering. 1. Why should someone choose to adopt a dog rather than go to a breeder? 2. Have you ever had a time in which the shelter was 100% empty? If so, what happened next? Where there more dogs imported? 3. On average, how many animals are euthanized in your shelter? Is that process painful to the animals? If you could respond to these questions that would be amazing and very helpful for my speech. Thank You!

A neighborhood deer died of natural causes (disease?) this past Monday March 26th on the sidewalk on the side of my house at 425 E Dodds St. We immediately called the city to report it and were told someone could come remove it on Tuesday or Wednesday. We called again Wednesday late afternoon and were told someone would probably come Thursday to remove it. It is now Friday evening, March 30th, and no one has come or contacted me. The deer is now decaying and something is starting to eat it at night. As the Bryan Park neighborhood have homes quite close together, I'm afraid the smell will start to bother the neighbor, and I'm afraid that the dead animal is becoming a health hazard and will spread disease. I was told when I called on Wednesday no one had come to remove it yet because the vehicle that is typically used was out of service, but that it would probably be back in service on Thursday. If the vehicle is not yet back in service, the city should hire a contractor to come remove the deer - I would have done so myself at the beginning of the week if I had known it was going to be left rotting all week. Thanks for your assistance, and for everyone's peace of mind I have not attached a picture.

Is it possible for someone to check out this property for animal abuse? I just walked by today (via the alley) and they seem to have a lot of growlings dogs in cages that were covered with blankets.

There is a skunk living under the porches of the homes at 3000 Lakewood Ct (vacant home) and 504 E Lakewood Dr. (home for sale). My dog was sprayed by it this evening. We see it out walking around early in the mornings and in the evenings.
